Menopause Support Resources

Around a quarter of women in the workforce are of menopausal age, yet many face a lack of awareness from their employer or colleagues.

With several studies reporting that women feel the menopause impacts their performance at work, employers have a responsibility to increase understanding and provide guidance for their people.

Menopause symptoms can have a significant impact on attendance and performance in the workplace. Research found that 84% of employees would like their workplace to offer more advice and support around the menopause.

Chamber Health Care providers Westfield Health have produced free resources that can be used to help you create a culture that makes your employees feel comfortable and supported. Resources include a Menopause Awareness in the Workplace webinar, Menopause fact sheets and also blog that contains easy-to-read information.
